A roast turkey is taken from an oven when its temperature has reached 185°F and is placed on a table in a room where the temperature is 75°F. The graph shows how the temperature of the turkey decreases and eventually approaches room temperature. (In Section 9.4 we will be able to use Newton€™s Law of Cooling to find an equation for T as a function of time) By measuring the slope of the tangent, estimate the rate of change of the temperature after an hour.
